Marine Reserves: Is there a Free Lunch? |
| Description |
|
The concept of marine reserves is to set aside significant areas of the marine environmental for limited or controlled use. Some proponents see marine reserves as unique natural laboratories to be utilized as benchmarks and objects of study in order to understand relatively undisturbed natural system. Others see marine reserves as potential policy tools with which to enhance the benefits of coastal ecosystems generally. Most vocal objections to marine reserves come from fishers presently exploiting areas under consideration as set-asides. |
